After becoming the owner of the island, Lin Zhicheng did have a lot of money in his name, and compared with before, he could definitely be regarded as suddenly rich.

However, one thing needs to be clear, Lin Zhicheng's money cannot be equated with the funds in the name of the Nalan Islands.

After all, it is already a modern society, and Lin Zhicheng is only the owner of the island, not the kings in the Middle Ages who could even enjoy other people's wives.

Public is public, private is private, to put it simply, Lin Zhicheng has a private account, independent of the finances of the Nalan Islands.

This private account originally belonged to Lin Zhicheng's uncle, but now, Lin Zhicheng is the only one left in the Lin family, and the owner of the account naturally becomes himself.

According to the ratio set by the Lin family before, 60% of the total GDP on the island should be saved in terms of people's livelihood, 125% will be saved for emergencies, and the last 15% is the income of the Lin family.

At this moment, Lin Zhicheng's private account has about half a billion US dollars. Less is less, this is all because the GDP of the Nalan Islands is not high, and the ancestors of the Lin family are kind to others and set a relatively low tax rate.

Of course, the so-called missing points are only the conclusion of horizontal comparison. From Lin Zhicheng's point of view, this amount of money is so much that he can't even think of it. In fact, as early as when he first became the owner of the island, Lin Zhicheng was excited and insomnia all night because he suddenly became a billionaire.

And now, when he heard Carter say that he had to open his little vault, imagining that the small money that originally belonged to him would be gone, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

"According to my estimates, this investment will require about 400 million US dollars, up and down 5 percent" I didn't notice that Lin Zhicheng twitched the corners ......of his mouth, and Carter was still talking about it.

It wasn't until ten minutes later, because Lin Zhicheng had not made a sound, that Carter discovered the abnormality and noticed the distress on Lin Zhicheng's face.

"Well, sir, if you don't want to spend this amount of money from your private account, we can find a bank in the name of the official to make a loan ....... ”

On the other hand, the Naran Islands can be regarded as a large company, and according to the general routine, when the company's liquidity is insufficient, it is the most common practice to find a bank to borrow.

"Do you want to borrow money from a bank? Let me think about it. ”

As soon as he heard that he didn't have to take money from his small coffers, Lin Zhicheng first showed a happy look, but after the initial excitement passed, he began to hesitate a little, and then fell into deep thought.

Although he automatically obtained the status of a U.S. citizen after becoming the owner of the island, just a few days ago, Lin Zhicheng was an authentic Chinese. Like the vast majority of Chinese, he has a natural taboo and aversion to borrowing.

In particular, U.S. banks are still borrowing from them. You must know that most of the banks in Europe and the United States are in the hands of the chaebols, controlled by those bankers who claim to eat people and do not spit out bones, which are not as moderate as the state-owned banks of our Great Celestial Empire.

"Forget it. Maybe I'll get used to it later, but now, as you know, I've only been here for a few days, and my way of thinking hasn't changed yet, and I'm a little resistant to taking out a loan from a bank. After thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhicheng made a choice.

Taking an official stance to find a bank loan is tantamount to giving the bank an opportunity to meddle in the island's economic power. And according to the bankers' style of acting, and Lin Zhicheng himself is a rookie, hehe, to exaggerate, whether the Nalan Islands will continue to be surnamed Lin in the end is two words.

After making up his mind, Lin Zhicheng quickly adjusted his mood.

I didn't have time to spend money, I haven't enjoyed the benefits of getting rich, and I don't have much sense of reality for such a large amount of money, to put it bluntly, the cognition in my mind is only on the surface of 'numbers from big to small', so Lin Zhicheng is so free.

As an otaku, not being sensitive enough to various things is also one of the reasons.

Don't meddle in things you don't understand, leave it to professional people to do, I don't know where I saw this sentence at the beginning, but now I finally found a chance to experience it - after lunch, Lin Zhicheng patted his ass and flashed, and threw the rest of the things to the financial officer Carter to deal with.

…………………………………………..

"Sam, let's go~!" Out of the door of the government building, came to the parking lot, and found that the driver was not in the car, Lin Zhicheng glanced around for a while, and found the person he was looking for in the sentry box that managed the parking lot.

"Boss, here~~~!" Sam, the black brother, hurriedly ran over, with a smile on his face, and opened the car door neatly.

"I sit in the front. Refusing to sit in the back seat, Lin Zhicheng took a step forward, opened the door of the passenger seat by himself, and greeted Sam while sitting on it: "Let's go, take me around the island." ”

"Okay~. ”

Sam's father was a black man in the U.S. military unit stationed on the island more than two decades ago, and his mother was a Southeast Asian woman born on the island.

Because the means of communication are not developed enough, what scandal occurs will not be leaked immediately, and at that time more than 20 years ago, the US soldiers stationed at overseas bases were not as honest as they are now.

In short, Sam's birth was not honorable.

However, the bad background did not make Sam resigned. Not only because he had a great mother, but also because of the enthusiastic help of the old housekeeper John, Sam and his friends grew up smoothly into a healthy and sunny young man.

I was helped when I was a child, and I didn't forget to give it back when I grew up|—whenever John had something, Sam and his friends would immediately come to help with a phone call.

For example, today, after following Lin Zhicheng to the main island, John got a temporary vacation to meet his little granddaughter, considering that Lin Zhicheng may not be convenient alone, it is best to find someone to accompany him, when leaving, the old housekeeper John called Sam over and asked him to become Lin Zhicheng's temporary tour guide instead of himself.

"Boss, where are we going?" skillfully started the engine, and while playing the steering wheel, Sam asked Lin Zhicheng for instructions.

"You don't have to call me boss. We're about the same age, just call me Charlie. Sam's identity is different from John, and being treated too respectfully by him will only make Lin Zhicheng feel uncomfortable.

"Alright then, Charlie. Sam replied with a smile and happily extended his left hand, "Sam Hammington." ”

Gently touching his fist, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but remind worriedly: "Hey, buddy, pay attention~! Drive well~!"

"Don't worry, I'm an old driver. ”

The car drove away from the city hall and was soon on the road near the coast, and as he drove along the road, Sam asked again, "Charlie, where do you want to go?"

"Walk around, do you know what's more lively? I mean, the more interesting places. Without an idea, Lin Zhicheng pushed the question back and asked Sam's suggestion.

Although it is not the first time to come to the main island of Nalan Island, because he has been staying in the Lin family's house on Longevity Island for the past few days, and has spent more time adapting to the environment and taking over the Lin family's assets, Lin Zhicheng is still not clear about the situation on the main island of Nalan Island.

"Hehe, you're really asking the right person. If you want to talk about playing, I'm this one on the island~. As he spoke, Sam gave himself a thumbs up: "It's not me who blows, even those soldiers who are bent on having fun are not as much as I know." ”

What kind of fun can American GIs have? It's nothing more than women. Because of Sam's words, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but have a misunderstanding, and frowned: "Sam, don't tell me that there are still women on the island who do the skin and meat business." ”

"Huh?" first glanced at Lin Zhicheng puzzled, and after a few seconds, Sam understood: "Hahahaha, Charlie, where did you think of going? I didn't mean that, hahahaha~." ”

After Sam's explanation, Lin Zhicheng understood the situation, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face unconsciously.

It turns out that the place Sam was talking about was not a place to hide filth, but just a large open space by the seaside market.

Just as every small European town has a square where the citizens meet, the large open space next to the seaside market is also a favorite meeting place for the island's young people. As long as it is not windy and rainy, every day at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, people will start to come to this open space, and eventually a group of young people will gather.

All in all, the vacant lot has become a favorite spot for the island's young people. Especially when events are held, it becomes even more lively, and its hustle and bustle is not much worse than that of a nightclub in the city.

If you encounter a large number of tourists, it will be even more lively, nine times out of ten, young tourists will be introduced here - although not very famous, but the Naran Islands will still welcome some tourists, when there are only a few dozen people a day, but occasionally there will be a peak period, there will be two or three hundred tourists a day on the island.

"There's another name for the open space called the place of good luck, why, is there any allusion?" While listening to Sam tell all kinds of anecdotes, Lin Zhicheng's heart unconsciously became a little interested.
